Tutorials
There are four tutorials. Tutorial groups are managed by the ITO, and will be announced soon.
Tutorials are based on question sheets which you should use to help
guide your own study for the course. Solutions will be issued a while
after the question sheets so you can measure your progress. There is
not enough time to cover all topics; you should aim to cover remaining
topics to a similar depth of knowledge.
Coursework ExercisesThere are two assessed coursework exercises, each worth 12.5% of the final mark.
